[SOLVED] glxinfo only works for root

Postby magfan » Oct 9th, '19, 12:09

After some Mageia updates I just realized that some of my 3D rendering programs do not work anymore. If I call "glxinfo" I get the following errors:

Code: Select all
$ glxinfo
name of display: :0
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  6 (X_GLXIsDirect)
  Serial number of failed request:  54
  Current serial number in output stream:  53
$


But "sudo glxinfo" works as expected. What do I have to change to benefit again from hardware acceleration as normal user?

Code: Select all
$ sudo glxinfo | grep NVIDIA
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 430.50
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA
OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 430.50
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 NVIDIA 430.50

Can you post the output of
Code: Select all
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
as regular user? Not necesseraly the full output, should be sufficient up to and including the first error message.

Hmmm, looks fine. You may need to run glxinfo under strace to see where your regular users lacks permissions.

I could solve the problem with re-installing x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-390.129-1.mga6.nonfree:

Code: Select all
urpmi --replacepkgs --replacefiles --force x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-390.129-1.mga6.nonfree
